Jonathan Worth
maketh oath and saith, that the affidavits and proofs in the case of Abraham Elliott's pension were made out by him, the said Worth, or by his direction, for the papers were in his hands when Samuel Alfred the admr. of said Abraham Elliott died, and that there was no person pressing the case, after said Admr.'s death, until Garrett Lane entered in as Administrator de-Bonis non. This affiant believes that this is the reason why the papers have not been forwarded on to the Department before this time & the witnesses Eli & John Alfred & Joseph Elliott have since died. Worth
